Having just about convinced myself that we wouldn't be getting anything grim/scary/nasty in the house (have seen things but only outside up until now), I was most upset to find a bit fat horribly cockroach sitting waiting for me in the bathroom last night. Yuck. I can only assume that it also has cockroach friends that I have yet to discover in other places.
Am now planning to go shopping at the weekend for the ultimate cockroach removal kit - I am not sharing my house with the nasty things! So, am after any top anti-cockroach suggsetions that people can come up with. A friends here has suggested a good fly swat as a way to mash them enough that they don't reassemble, but am keen to know what otehrs use (oh, and I'm 5 months pregnant, so a bit wary of super toxic chemicals!)
Thanks so much for any help - I love Australia, but there are some bits I could really live without (god knows how I will cope when we get our first venomous thing inside the house!)
